The term "breast" is generally used for females, while "chest" is often used for males.
According to the reference material, the chest refers to the portion of the human torso above the stomach, enclosing the heart and lungs. While both males and females have a chest, the term "breast" specifically refers to the mammary glands in females, which are muscular, milk-yielding organs.
| Term | Gender Association | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chest | Generally Males | The upper part of the torso enclosing the heart and lungs. |
| Breast | Females | Muscular, milk-yielding organs (mammary glands). |
Therefore, to be precise:
- Use chest to describe the upper torso of both males and females (though often more associated with males).
- Use breast specifically to describe the mammary glands of a female.
